Cruising for a Cure

Last Saturday, Scott, Jackson and I took off

to Lawrence County for the 

annual Joe Wheeler EMC

Cruising for a Cure.

Every year where Scott's brother works they have an

antique car show to help raise money for the 

American Cancer Society.

Unfortunately, this usually falls right in the middle of 

Austin's Robotics season and we are unable to go...

but this year we snuck off.

Austin stayed at practice and got lots of 

things done for their competition coming up

in a couple of weeks.

The only problem was...

Scott can only drive one car...

which means I had to drive one...

YIKES!

While technically, one of the cars is mine...

I never drive it...EVER!

We headed over around 8 o'clock 

and made it just fine.

Everyone drove their cars into the shed out back where they usually

have all of their work trucks.

It was a beautiful fall Saturday morning

so it was nice to be out and about.

I snapped a few pictures but for some reason

completely forgot to take a picture of my car...

oops!

Scott has worked really hard on his truck and I think it is 

just beautiful.

Mama and Papa found a car like he had when they were dating.

We also found one for Austin.

He has now caught the restore fever and is ready to find

an "old ford" and restore it.

He keeps going back and forth from a

Mustang to an old truck...

We found this red one for him and it was even for sale.

I thought this was funny...

he apparently couldn't find him a second driver so 

he just hauled it behind him!

One of the things they had there for the kids was 

riding in a bucket truck...

Scott and Jackson got all harnessed up

and took off.

Up, up and away!

He took them all the way up.

I think they were about 60 feet up in the air.

Jackson thought it was so fun!

When he was back down on the ground he said

"That was fun...not scary even a little bit!"

We had a lot of fun and won a couple of door prizes,

but didn't win the big prize.

We headed back to Athens around 2 o'clock

and then headed up to check on what the kids had done

that morning at robotics.

We had a fun day and I was

glad that Scott was finally able to show off all

of his hard work he did on his truck.
